template if statement depending on which component is current.

[mojito]

Can I work out what component is currently displayed in my template as I want to use an if statement to show more of my component and hide some modules if the custom component is showing.. I suppose I could read the url string, but this seems a little clunky to me requiring some string functions etc, and im sure there is a variable available which denotes which component.

This is easy.  The current component is stored in the $option variable.

So...

Code: Select all

if ($option == 'com_mycomponent') {
...

}
